create-context

create-context is a skill for Claude Code from digital-stoic-org/agent-skills. It costs 55 tokens per session (725 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-context setup tool that turns source files in an .in folder into an organized .ctx snapshot. The snapshot gives an agent a reusable starting point for the project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Bootstrapping project context, organizing reference files, and creating a baseline for future tasks.
Why use it?
It reduces the work of sorting raw project material into context an agent can use.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

create-context scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/scan-in-folder.sh, scripts/validate-manifest.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Context

Bootstrap project context from .in/ folder → .ctx/ snapshot + baseline + RISEN INPUT table.

⚠️ AskUserQuestion Guard

CRITICAL: After EVERY AskUserQuestion call, check if answers are empty/blank. Known Claude Code bug: outside Plan Mode, AskUserQuestion silently returns empty answers without showing UI.

If answers are empty: DO NOT proceed with assumptions. Instead:

  1. Output: "⚠️ Questions didn't display (known Claude Code bug outside Plan Mode)."
  2. Present the options as a numbered text list and ask user to reply with their choice number.
  3. WAIT for user reply before continuing.

Folder Architecture

  • .in/: Immutable bootstrap (user dumps raw docs, never modified by commands)
  • .ctx/: Actionable snapshot (generated: manifest + summaries + copied files)

Steps

1. Prerequisites

[ -d .in/ ] || error "No .in/ folder found. Create it and add source files first."
[ -d .ctx/ ] && [ "$1" != "--force" ] && error ".ctx/ exists. Use --force to recreate."

Skip security-sensitive files: .env*, *credentials*, *secrets*, *token*, *.key, *.pem, *.crt

2. Scan & Prioritize

  1. Glob: .in/**/*.{md,txt,csv,yaml,json}
  2. AskUserQuestion per file: HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW + brief description

3. Create .ctx/ and Generate Manifest

Write .ctx/manifest.yaml — see reference.md for schema.

4. Context Sizing & Copy

Token estimation: tokens ≈ words / 0.75 (via wc -w)

Priority ≤ threshold > threshold, ≤25K > 25K
HIGH ≤1500 → inline summarize directly summarize via sub-agent
MEDIUM ≤2500 → inline summarize directly summarize via sub-agent
LOW reference only — —

Copy HIGH/MEDIUM files to .ctx/, preserving subdirectory structure.

5. Summarize (if needed)

  • Direct: Read + generate ~500 token summary → .ctx/{nn}-{basename}-summary-llm.md
  • Sub-agent: Task(summarize-for-context) for files >25K tokens

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
